This is really great. Wendover Productions made an excellent video about electrification of flights a while ago.

Now the real question is: will world governments allow this Chinese technology into their countries? Protectionism is a ~~valid~~ *public reason to deny it, but I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?

Or is that too far fetched and I'm just way to cynical.

In your guys opinion, is that good or bad? Privately funded would mean proprietary & profit driven implementation for such a crucial technology (if successful). I personally don't like it.

I think Windows 11 was supposed to be that clean break. They've reimplemented a lot of core functionality compared to XP & 7. If they're still getting breached then they obviously aren't serious about security.

Microsoft focused on security at this point is like a builder focusing on building strong foundations now that the house is built on top.

It's a little too late my dudes.

Oh that's interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on "innovation first" pseudo-management?

Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.

Makes a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don't stick around long enough.

Ok being serious then, the meme (& most people) refer to working class British dishes like fish & chips, beans on toast, bangers and mash which don't have a lot of spice used in them. Many of them were probably invented, adapted & popularized by working class people during post world war 2 rationing.

I'm sure authentic British recipes do contain "rich people" food, but memes and pejoratives about their cuisine ignores or doesn't know about such food.

Its like a meme mentioning American food as burgers & gravy, while pedants would argue Mexican food is also American. Ignoring why North Americans (mostly poor people) eat fast food and the socio-economic factors that forces them to eat low nutrition food.

Oh Yeah! Like they'd earn all the money and they'd spend it by paying wages & share what they imported with common folk. It'll all trickle down to the rest of us... eventually, right? /s
